When this is the case, a continuous change of the θ parameter can introduce an interface that supports a nontrivial field theory localized on the wall. We consider the 2d ℂ P N −1 sigma model as an example and construct a weak-coupling setup of this interface theory by considering the small S 1 compactification with nonzero winding θ parameter and a suitable symmetry-twisted boundary condition. This system has N classical vacua connected by fractional instantons, but the anomaly constraint tells us that the fractional-instanton amplitudes should vanish completely to have N -fold degeneracy at the quantum level. We show how this happens in this purely bosonic system, uncovering that the integration over the zero modes annihilates the fractional instanton amplitudes, in sharp contrast to what happens when the θ angle is constant. Moreover, we provide another explanation of this selection rule by showing that the N perturbative vacua acquire different charges under the global symmetry with the activation of the winding θ angle. We also demonstrate a similar destructive interference between instanton effects in the ℂ P N −1 quantum mechanics with the Berry phase.}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS}, author={Nguyen, Mendel and Tanizaki, Yuya and Unsal, Mithat}, year={2023}, month={Sep} } @article{tanizaki_unsal_2022, title={Center vortex and confinement in Yang Mills theory and QCD with anomaly-preserving compactifications}, volume={2022}, ISSN={["2050-3911"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ptep/ptac042}, DOI={10.1093/ptep/ptac042}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={PROGRESS OF THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Tanizaki, Yuya and Unsal, Mithat}, year={2022}, month={Apr} } @article{honda_itou_tanizaki_2022, title={DMRG study of the higher-charge Schwinger model and its ’t Hooft anomaly}, volume={11}, url={http://inspirehep.net/record/2163166}, DOI={10.1007/JHEP11(2022)141}, abstractNote={Abstract }, journal={JHEP}, author={Honda, Masazumi and Itou, Etsuko and Tanizaki, Yuya}, year={2022}, month={Nov}, pages={141} } @article{fukushima_shimazaki_tanizaki_2022, title={Exploring the θ-vacuum structure in the functional renormalization group approach}, volume={04}, url={http://inspirehep.net/record/2023555}, DOI={10.1007/JHEP04(2022)040}, abstractNote={Abstract }, journal={JHEP}, author={Fukushima, Kenji and Shimazaki, Takuya and Tanizaki, Yuya}, year={2022}, month={Apr}, pages={040} } @article{hayashi_tanizaki_2022, title={Non-invertible self-duality defects of Cardy-Rabinovici model and mixed gravitational anomaly}, volume={2022}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85135228761&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1007/JHEP08(2022)036}, abstractNote={Abstract }, number={8}, journal={Journal of High Energy Physics}, author={Hayashi, Y. and Tanizaki, Y.}, year={2022} } @article{tanizaki_unsal_2022, title={Semiclassics with 't Hooft flux background for QCD with 2-index quarks}, volume={08}, ISSN={["1029-8479"]}, url={http://inspirehep.net/record/2086495}, DOI={10.1007/JHEP08(2022)038}, abstractNote={Abstract }, number={8}, journal={JOURNAL OF HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS}, author={Tanizaki, Yuya and Unsal, Mithat}, year={2022}, month={Aug} } @article{honda_itou_kikuchi_tanizaki_2021, title={Negative string tension of higher-charge Schwinger model via digital quantum simulation}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85118645604&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, journal={arXiv}, author={Honda, M. and Itou, E. and Kikuchi, Y. and Tanizaki, Y.}, year={2021} } @article{nguyen_tanizaki_ünsal_2021, title={Non-invertible 1-form symmetry and Casimir scaling in 2d Yang-Mills theory}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85106167565&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, journal={arXiv}, author={Nguyen, M. and Tanizaki, Y. and Ünsal, M.}, year={2021} } @article{nguyen_tanizaki_unsal_2021, title={Noninvertible 1-form symmetry and Casimir scaling in 2D Yang-Mills theory}, volume={104}, ISSN={["2470-0029"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85114421307&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1103/PhysRevD.104.065003}, abstractNote={Pure Yang-Mills theory in 2 spacetime dimensions shows exact Casimir scaling. Thus there are infinitely many string tensions, and this has been understood as a result of non-propagating gluons in 2 dimensions. From ordinary symmetry considerations, however, this richness in the spectrum of string tensions seems mysterious. Conventional wisdom has it that it is the center symmetry that classifies string tensions, but being finite it cannot explain infinitely many confining strings. In this note, we resolve this discrepancy between dynamics and kinematics by pointing out the existence of a non-invertible 1-form symmetry, which is able to distinguish Wilson loops in different representations.

Taking the large-$p$ limit, we show that the low-energy effective theory is described by a $(2+1)$-dimensional relativistic $SU(3)/U(1)^2$ nonlinear sigma model. Since the target space has a nontrivial homotopy $\pi_2(SU(3)/U(1)^2)\simeq \mathbb{Z}^2$, this model has two kinds of magnetic skyrmions, which can be created and annihilated by monopole instantons. By careful analysis of the Wess-Zumino term in the spin coherent path integral, we compute the Berry phase for these monopoles and it produces the destructive interference. This restricts possible perturbations of the effective Lagrangian by monopole operators, and we see that the valence-bond-solid (VBS) phase should have degenerate ground states when $p\not\in 3\mathbb{Z}$.

The anomalies are derived using a recent mod 22 index theorem and its generalization that incorporates ’t Hooft flux. Anomaly matching and dynamical considerations are used to determine the ground-state structure of the theory. The anomalies, which are present for most values of NN, are matched by spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. We find that massless 22d adjoint QCD confines for N >2N>2, except for test charges of NN-ality N/2N/2, which are deconfined. In other words, \mathbb Z_NℤN center symmetry is unbroken for odd NN and spontaneously broken to \mathbb Z_{N/2}ℤN/2 for even NN. All of these results are confirmed by explicit calculations on small \mathbb{R}\times S^1ℝ×S1. We also show that this non-supersymmetric theory exhibits exact Bose-Fermi degeneracies for all states, including the vacua, when NN is even. Furthermore, for most values of NN, 22d massive adjoint QCD describes a non-trivial symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase of matter, including certain cases where the number of interacting Majorana fermions is a multiple of 88. As a result, it fits into the classification of (1+1)(1+1)d SPT phases of interacting Majorana fermions in an interesting way.}, number={5}, journal={SciPost Phys.}, author={Cherman, Aleksey and Jacobson, Theodore and Tanizaki, Yuya and Ünsal, Mithat}, year={2020}, month={May}, pages={072} } @article{chen_fukushima_nishimura_tanizaki_2020, title={Deconfinement and CP breaking at θ=π in Yang-Mills theories and a novel phase for SU(2)}, volume={102}, url={http://inspirehep.net/record/1798942}, DOI={10.1103/physrevd.102.034020}, abstractNote={We discuss the deconfinement and the CP-breaking phase transitions at $\theta=\pi$ in Yang-Mills theories. The 't Hooft anomaly matching prohibits the confined phase with CP symmetry and requires $T_{dec}(\theta=\pi) \le T_{CP}$, where $T_{dec}(\theta=\pi)$ and $T_{CP}$ denote the deconfinement and the CP-restoration temperatures, respectively, at $\theta=\pi$. We analytically study these two phase transitions in softly-broken $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on small $\mathbb{R}^3\times S^1$ with the periodic boundary condition for gluinos. For most gauge groups except SU(2) in this model, we find that the inequality is saturated, so deconfinement and CP restoration occur simultaneously. We demonstrate special features of the SU(2) gauge theory: There is a finite window of two temperatures, $T_{dec}(\pi)
